ACX Series

The ACX is the smallest, full-featured Programmable AC Source offered by Pacific Power Source. The ACX Series is ideal for single phase AC test, frequency conversion, laboratory and bench-power applications.

ADX Series

The ADX is the smallest and most affordable Programmable AC Source offered by Pacific Power Source. The ADX Series is ideal for single phase AC test, frequency conversion, basic ATE test requirements or bench-power applications.

UPC Studio Software

Pacific Power Source’s new UPC Studio software allows exceptional Control of your UPC equipped Pacific AC Power Source. Operated from your PC’s GPIB or RS-232 interface, all areas of control and measurement are presented in a greatly enhanced, easy to use, graphical interface.

PPSC Manager Software

Pacific Power Source’s new PPSC Manager software allows exceptional Control of Pacific AC Power Source’s AFX Series AC & DC capable power sources. Operated through either, LAN with LXI support, USB or RS-232, all AFX Series modes and capabilities are supported to allow full and easy control and measurement of these sophisticated power source through a Windows 10 graphical interface.

Overview

Power conversion is achieved by high frequency pulse width modulation, resulting in cool, quiet and efficient operation. The ACX Series is ideal for AC test, frequency conversion, laboratory and bench-power applications. Equipped with the UPC-1 programmable controller, the ACX becomes a powerful AC Power Source and Power Analyzer for today’s testing needs.

Applications

AC Test Power

The ACX Series Power Source uses the same advanced fully programmable controller as higher power and larger AC power sources available from Pacific Power Source. It constitutes a fully integrated AC power generation and measurement analysis test system that can eliminate the need for additional measurement equipment such as DMM’s or power analyzers, saving both cost, rack space and integration time. With its wide 15Hz to 1200Hz output frequency range and dual voltage range to 300VAC rms, it can generate a wide range of simple to complex AC output sequences to a unit under test.

Frequency/Voltage Conversion

Due to its compact size and higher current output capability, the ACX’s are excellent sources of stable AC voltage over the frequency range of 15 to 1,200 Hz. The output frequency is quartz-crystal stabilized. Output voltages up to 300 VAC are provided. Bench use as an easy to use frequency converter in a lab environment is facilitated by its front panel universal output socket and simple to operate front panel with 4 line backlit LCD display.

ATE Applications

With its compact form factor requiring only 2U (3.5”) rack space and its high power density, the ACX is ideally suited for a wide range of automated test systems that require precision AC power output to the unit under test. Using the same bus command syntax and instrument drivers as the widely used ASX and AMX Series power source, the ACX Series uses the same instrument drivers and can be integrated quickly. The universal AC input allows test stations equipped with ACX units to be deployed anywhere in the world.

ACX Controller Applications

The ACX-Series uses the same UPC-1 single phase controller as used on the broad range of ASX Series models and as such is fully software compatible with entire line of Pacific Power Source products. The same unit can be used in manual control mode from the front panel or remotely using standard RS232 interface or optional GPIB.
